a position so anomalous that they can scarcely "hazard an opinion with- 
out increasing and intensifying sectional jealousy to a decree wliich 
might again consolidate public opinion, both K"orth and South, upon 
the basis of se(;tional antagonism— that dangerous rock whic^-lrTias 
already well liigh wrecked our noble ship of state, kaving h^'in siicb 
a shattered condition that a repetition of the shoclc -w^l'd certainly 
cause her to go down in the seethiiig waters oY an angry sea. 

If I may be pardoned for pursuing the simile a moment lonijer, I 
venture to affirm what every considenite man in thocH)nntry will admit, 
and that is, that our sldp of state, which has so nobly survived all the 
vicissitudes of a whole century's voyage, is now, in 'the very hour in 
which I am speaking, driven hy the"' most fearful tempest she has ever 
encountered head on to a rock-bound coast, with every timber strained, 
and every mast and beam cpiivering, and unless the nopular sentiment of 
the N"orth and Northwest (which can alone control tJie helm) shall speed- 
dy " 'bout ship," and draw out into an open and smooth sea, the noble 
craft npi-.i whicn is freigiited the hopes of republican freedom through- 
out the world must inevitahly perish. 

Representatives this rock-bound coast is centralized power. 
If I am asked how this popular opinion of which I have spoken can 
be aroused in time to deliver us from the peril in which we now stand, 
I unhesitatingly reply : Let some leading statesmen of both [.arties in 
each wmg of this (^apitol, who come from the North and Northwest, 
and have the ear of their people, throw wide their hearts and minds to 
the divine inspirations of patriotism, and first raising themselves up to 
the exalted heights of a sublime love of country, let them appeal to 
their people in the name of republican and constitutional government, 
and they will " draw all men after them; " and to the honor of having 
once saved the Union let them add the imperishable o-|„ry of presers^- 
ing the very life of our Constitution and of re-establishing the totter- 
ing foundations of our Government. 

A careful observer cannot fail to perceive that there is in our Gov- 
ernment a conflict l)etween two antagonizing principles which are 
fiercely contending for the mastery. Upon its result will depend the 
continued existence of our political institutions. It is a conflict be- 
tween a manitest tendency to centralism on the one side and constitu- 
tional government on the other. It is the conflict of two opposing 
principles, between which there can be no compromise. For the con- 
cession of any constitiit onal guarantee would imperil our institutions, 
Willie to abandon ourselves to the policy of proirressive innovation 
would, in the end, accomplish the complete overthrow of our whole 
system of government. 

I need not tell the intelligent representatives of the American people 
of the various steps which have been taken in the direction of an un- 
authorized central power. They stand forever recorded in our politi- 
cal liistory and will readily occur to all who have carefullv studie.l the 
theory and practice of the Government. I forbear to men'tion or dwell 
upon theni lu delail, because, from my localilv, and that of the con- 
stituency I represent, J cannot do so without the risk of imparting 
fresh irritation to that sclh.nal sensiijveiiess which all good men, both 
^orthaiid South, should In; so anxious to allav. But I implore my . 
countrymen t.. bniy il.e bitter memories of the past, and calmlv con- 
sider and pon.Ie,- ll,e cv.mts „f the last ten years, mrA one for himself, 
and 11, tli<. hg,t nl sound constitutional interpretation determine for 
iiimselt wheihcr iii.leed it be true that we are drifting into the vortex 
01 a dangerous central [luwer.

In this solemn juncture, when, in the opinion of many of our wisest 
statesmen, the very life of constitutional government is [)ut at peril, 
the helpless and exhausted South calls upon the patriotic people of the 
North and Northwest, without regard to part'i, to come to the rescue not 
of the South alone, but of the whole country ; for rest assured, that 
whatever may have been our past I'elations and antagonisms, nov; when 
our common heritage is in danger of being wrested from us, you may 
truly exclaim that the cause of any one State is " the cause of us all." 

I a[)peal to you to-day, and ask if you can contemplate the danger to 
wliich we are alike exposed with feelings of indifterence? I implore 
you to rise from the death of apathy to a life of i)atriotism, and re- 
member that " at certain moments, in certain phices, in certain shades, 
to sleep is to die." Then will you not arouse yourselves to active and 
earnest effort to restore the Government to a purely constitutional ad- 
ministratio!! ? Not to do so would be a crime against yourselves. It 
would be an unatonable sin against all the generations to come after 
you. I speak to my countrymen to-da}' without regard to party. I 
speak to tlie Representatives of the nation. I speak to the whole 
American people. I here proclaim that we are not only debtors to the 
present, but that we owe a solemn duty to the future. What our fore- 
fatliers, achieced in 1776 the men of 1876 must preserve. If neglected, 
it will entail upon our children for all time to come a heritage of woe. 
It will hll all the coming ages with the fruitless wailing of a cruslied 
and down-trodden, people. 

I will now look into this subject somewhat, promising, however, to 
avoid even the appearance of party bias or sectional prejudice. 

When the philosophy of our Government is carefully studied, it will 
be seen to be a system o( distributed pnoers between the different depart- 
ments thereof It will also be seen tliat these departments have been 
so incorporated into the general system, and endowed with such func- 
tions, as to enable them to act as checks upon each other; and hence, 
among the earlier statesmen of our country, it was called a system of 
"checks and balances." In this distribution all the powers of Govern- 
ment are vested by the Constitution in the legislative, executive, and 
judicial departments, and that instrument has, with rare precision and 
certainty, assigned to each its a[>propriate functions, and has wisely 
guarded the whole by expressly forbidding the exercise b\' any one of 
them of the powers assigned to either of the others. 

It will be further seen that all the powers not conferred on the Gen- 
etieral Government by the Constitution, and not " prohibited to the 
States, are reserved to tlie States respectively, or to the [leople." Here 
we liave the various departments o'f the National Government acting 
as checks the one upon the other, while the General and State Govern- 
ments are alike checks upon each other. It is in this admirable distri- 
bution of power between the different departments of the General Gov- 
ernment, and between the General and State Governments, that we 
find the wisdom, beaut}', and strength of our system. While it is com- 
plex it is also simple, and when its theory is rightlj' understood no prac- 
tical solecism will be found in this declarntion. It will be found to be 
complex in its machitiery, but at the same time simple in its operation. 
It will be found to be the only feasible system by which absolute power 
can be avoided and at the same time civil liberty preserved. As a 
a system of government it is the wonder of the ages, and if not per- 
verted or destroyed it will in less than a century become the model 
upon whicii all the governments of the world will be molded. The in- 
spirations of popular government have already entered into the hearts

Hk. emplovn.-nf ..f the military ar.n ot the Government, ot late >eai., 



in any of the States is unanthorized by the Constitution, snch employ- 
ment is in the direction of consolidated power, and has an ahirming 
tendency to dictatorial rule. Such a tendency is manifestly dangerous 
to our institutions, and should be promptly and efiectually arrested by 
the people at the ballot box. This is the more essential to our safety, 
because in our Government a precedent once set and repeated soon sol- 
idifies itself into the potential force of an organic law. 

What I mean, if possible, to impress up -n the minds of my country- 
men is, that although President Grant might and doubtless would fol- 
low the illustrious example of Cincinnatus'aud repudiate the dictator- 
ship, still as a natural outgrowth of unauthorizeci military power it may 
be that at some time not very far in the future some Servilius Geminus 
may rise up in our country and seize the reins of dictatorial rule, and 
we'may find the history of the Eoman republic repeated in our own. 

We value and regard our institutions of government as being emi- 
nently wise and benign in themselves ; and indeed they are, but even 
if they were less so the spirit of the second century of our national life 
is opposed to any radiciil change in their organic form, wdiether such 
change is eftected by formal amendments to the Constitution or by pre- 
cedents which have been sanctified by continued use. At this very 
moment the great national heart, so long silent, is throbbing in audible 
pulsation and is ready to articulate in deep and unmistakable tones its 
demand for peace, Uuion, and the Constitution as it is. 

What we need in the United States is stability in the organic forms 
of our Government, unvarying obedience to organic law, and just such 
frequent changes in our rulers as may be necessary to secure honest, 
economical, and etficient administration. 

In this nineteenth century the voice of civilization demands peace in- 
stead of revolution, and pleads for stability in all governments which 
do really and substantially secure to citizens and subjects the enjoy- 
ment of life, liberty, and property. 

Our own Government, if wisely and honestly administered, is abund- 
antly adequate to this great and salutary end ; and we shall become of 
all the nations on "earth the most reprobate if we either p<)llute or break 
down the sacred alters which our fathers erected to constitutional free- 
dom one hundred years ago. 

That something'is wrong in the working of the government machin- 
ery must, I think, be apparent to all wdio will take the pains to observe 
its operations. It will be seen that there is derangement somewhere, 
in so'me of its parts ; that its regularity and harmony of movement have 
been disturbed This must be patent to all intelligent and unpreju- 
diced minds. And ].erhaps no better proof of this can be found than is 
presented in the known fact that the patriotic and thoughtful statesmen 
of the entire country are at this moment oppressed with perplexity of 
mind and anxious foreboding on account of the events that are now 
transpiring around us. 

It must be apparent to all that the great balance-wheel in the ma- 
chinery of government has been thrown from its axis, and unless it is 
speedily replaced and re-adjusted it must and will result in fearful col- 
lision, and in the ultimate destruction of a system which in times past 
has performed its functions with a certainty and precision that has not 
only secured the confidence of our own people, but has excited the 
wonder and challenged the admiration of the world. In the very na- 
ture of our political system, involving as it does both national and 
State organization, it is indispensable, in order to insure its harmoni- 
ous working, that each shall be confined within its own appropriate

and constitutional sphere. This delicate and difficult task was sons^ht 
to be accom|)lisl)ed by the sages who framed the Constitution. That 
the sj'stem has from time to time been drawn within tlie influence of 
disturbing causes has been owing more to administrative mismanage- 
ment than to any inherent defect. 

The sphere in which both the national and State governments were 
intended to move is accurately and expressly defined in the tenth 
amendment of the Federal Constitution, and clearly means that the 
General Government may exercise such powers onlj- as are delegated 
to it, and that the States may only exercise such powers as are not del- 
egated to the United States and as are not prohibited to the States by 
the Constitution. Tbe language of the Constitution in this connection 
is so clear and so free from all ambiguity that there would seem to be 
no room for doubt as to the intention of its framers ; and the only 
chance for misinterpretation would be in determining with certaint}'' 
what merely implied powers the General Government may, under the 
Constitution, rightfully claim to exercise. These questions of construc- 
tion have often arisen since the f)undation of the Government; and as 
the executive and legislative departments have from time to time as- 
sumed to decide them one way or the other, the executive and legisla- 
tive policy of the country has been made to fluctuate. Bnt hitherto 
an appeal to the judicial power of the Government has aftorded the 
onh' authorative solution of doubtful constitutional questions. That 
there should be some. tril)unal clothed with the power to detern\ine 
whether executive or legislative action has transcended tlie limitations 
of Constitution was absolutely necessary to prevent usurpations which 
might be utterly subversive of our entire system of government. 

The question of greatest difflculty was, where this important and deli- 
cate power might be most safel}- lodged. 

Knowing, as they did, the imperfection of all human systems, and 
knowing too that ultimate power couhl not be vested in any man or 
body of men, whose detei'minations would be infdlil)ly correct, the 
framers of the C(Uistitution lodged it in tlie Federal judiciary as a co- 
ordinate branch of the Government; and, in order to secure impartial 
action on their part, they were clothed with the life tenure in oflice, 
and thus made independent of the other co-ordinate branches of the 
Government. AVhatever objection has been or may be urged against 
this a|>propriation of power, it is, I believe, generally conceded that it 
was the best and safest that could be devised, and it may here be added 
that the interpretations of the Constitution given by this high and 
august tribunal have rarely been brought in question. 

Whether the Constitution thus interpreted has been disregarded 
by either ol" the other de[)artments of the Government is certainly a 
question which the j>cople may as a matter of r'ajht, and should as a mat- 
ter of ditfi/, inquii'e into. 

As in the natural world changes are ever taking place, so it may bo 
said of all human institutions, that they are continually liable to trans- 
mutations, and fi('<ii)ently by such slow and gradual processes as scarcely 
to be j)erceptil)le at any given nunnent of ol>servalion. This is especially 
so in rej)ublics, and hence the importance of sleejdess vigilance on the 
part ol" the j)eople, who are the acknowledged source of jiolitical power 
in a government such as ours. It is their duty to examine and scrutin- 
ize evcrj/ act of ererjj achninistration of the Government. To do this in a 
spirit of fairness, and with the sole purpose of presering the integrity 
of our institutions, is what patriotism demands of every American citizen. 

If the f )Undations of republican liberty have been weakened by 



Ji^m^fT^ 



either corrupt or unwise administration, I implore my countrymen 
■without delay to inquire into the nature and extent of the evil, and 
thou2:htfully and wisely to consider of, and a})))ly the hest and most 
pi-actieal means of removiniJ^ or lessening it. lint, in our anxiety to 
restore the Government toil, healthful state let us not be rash or in- 
considerate in clioosing the methods to be used for that purpose. 
Above (ill, hi vs seek a peaceful escape from all the dangers ichich rnay, either 
now or hcreafier, threaten om institutions. 

Neither section of our country can stand the strain of another civil 
•war, the diresi of all cahmiilics. Let us trust to public opinion, which 
will assuredly o])en up >1 e wny to a peaceful solution of all our troub- 
les, for in republics ]iubiic' opinion is more powerful than the sword, and 
if relied on, will sooner or later overthrow all conspirators against the 
constitution. Let us then trust in that; and if hereafter rash and am- 
bitious men shall assail the Constitution, thetime will have come when, 
in the language of Victor Hugo, it, "in spite of all conspirators against 
the constitution, and mysteriously to them, before the invisible resist- 
ance of the moral sentiment, before the invisible force of progress ac- 
complished, before the formidable and mysterious refusal of an entire 
century, will arise at the North and the South, at the East and the 
West around tyrants, and tell them No!" and all conspirators against 
the Constitution of the United States will find that it is safer to play 
■with the lightning and the fierce thunderbolts of heaven than to trifle 
■with a deceived and outi-aged people. 

If the public opinion and moral sentiment of the nation cannot pre- 
serve tlie purity of the ballot, and the integritj of our institutions, then 
I proclaim our experiment in government a failure — for it is a govern- 
ment of consent and not of force — the idea of a government main- 
tained by armed force is opposed to all our political theories. If ever we 
shall reach this point, we shall find that a radical change in the theory 
of our system will become inevitable, and we shall be compelled to 
adopt some other form of government. In that event (which I pray 
may never occur) it would be wise to meet the inevitable and respond to 
its demands by efi'ecting the transition by peaceful and bloodless 
methods. But I have an abiding faith in abetter destiny. Let us vin- 
dicate before the worhl the excellence of our political institutions by 
kee]:)ing as we can, the theory and practice of our Government in per- 
fect harmony and agreement. 

It has been said by De Tocqneville, the great political philosopher, 
that " France was the first to throw into the world, amid the thunders 
of her first revolution, dogmas which have subsequently become the 
regenerating principles of all modern societies, which has been the 
glory and most precious portion of her history." So it may be justly 
said of the United States that it was her glory, amid the thunders of 
her first revolution, to seize upon those dogmas and make a practical 
application of them, so as to illustrate to all the nations of the earth 
the possibility of successful popular government; and this has become 
" the most precious portion of our history." And as De Tocqneville 
said of France, so it may be as truly said of the United States at this 
time, that it is " these very principles which our example at the present 
day is depriving of force. The a[)plication which we seem to make of 
them, in our own case, leads the world to dcnibt their truth. Europe, 
which is watching us, begins to ask if we were right or wrong. She 
asks if it is true, what we have so often atfirmed, that we are leading 
the nations of the earth toward a happier and ukh-c pros[)erous future, 
or whether we are not drugging them down after us into moral degra-
